Parliamentary Space Committee (An All-Party Parliamentary Group)

The Parliamentary Space Committe (An All-Party Parliamentary Group was designed in order:

'To raise awareness in and around Parliament of the growing importance of space-based applications to the UK economy, to policy making, to society and to the science community; to highlight the benefits from the UK’s investment in space and its leading role within the global space economy; and to promote political debate and awareness of space-based opportunities and solutions for policy makers.'[1]

The group's secretariat, UK Space, describe the group on their website as follows:

'The Parliamentary Space Committee (PSC), being one of the oldest and most respected all-party groups, has consistently enjoyed the support of Parliamentarians from across the political spectrum and both Houses who have constituency interests or broader academic and industrial interests in the UK space sector.'
